That makes sense. I was trying to do it the hard way.
Thanks Daniel,

BaseTemplateToolbox is the cleanest hook to use. There's also SkinTemplateToolboxEnd which is hideous but existed before BaseTemplate. So ideally use BaseTemplateToolbox, unless you happen to have an ancient pre-BaseTemplate skin that's still hardcoding the toolbox.

I am using the Vector skin. I have an extension very similar to whatlinkshere. It needs to take the current page as the parameter just like whatlinkshere.
I would like to add it to the toolbox, but actually I do not care where it is in the navigation but the toolbox seems the most logical.
We have done this before with other older skins that had something like this section:
<div id="gumax-special-tools"> I noticed that getToolBox() is within BaseTemplate. Is there a way to add this method to the tool box?
